California Love (Original Version) (Feat. Roger Troutman, Dr. Dre)
2Pac
앨범 : The Best of 2Pac
California knows how to party
California knows how to party
In the citaaay of L A
In the citaaay of good ol' Watts
In the citaaay the city of Compton
We keep it rockin
We keep it rockin
Now let me welcome everybody
to the wild wild west
A state that's untouchable like
Elliot Ness
The track hits ya eardrum
like a slug to ya chest
Pack a vest for your
Jimmy in the city of sex
We in that sunshine state
with a bomb ass hemp beat
the state where ya never find
a dance floor empty
And pimps be
on a mission for them greens
lean mean money makin machines
servin fiends
I been in the game
for ten years makin rap tunes
ever since honeys was wearin
sassoon
Now it's '95 and they
clock me and watch me
Diamonds shinin
lookin like I robbed Liberace
It's all good
from Diego to tha Bay
Your city is tha bomb
if your city makin pay
Throw up a finger
if ya feel the same way
Dre puttin it down for
Californ i a
California knows how to party
California knows how to party
In the citaaay of L A
In the citaaay of good ol' Watts
In the citaaay the city of Compton
We keep it rockin
We keep it rockin
Shake it shake it baby
Shake it shake it baby
Shake it shake it mama
Shake it Cali
Shake it shake it baby
Shake it shake it shake it shake it
Out on bail fresh outta jail
California dreamin
Soon as I stepped on the scene
I'm hearin hoochies screamin
Fiendin for money and alcohol
the life of a west side
playa where cowards die
Only in Cali where we riot not
rally to live and die
In L A
we wearin Chucks not Ballies
Dressed in Locs and khaki
suits and ride is what we do
Flossin but have caution
we collide with other crews
Famous cause we program worldwide
Let'em recognize from Long
Beach to Rose Grands
Bumpin and grindin like a slow jam
it's west side
So you know the row won't
bow down to
no man
Say what you say
But give me that bomb beat from Dre
Let me serenade the streets of LA
From Oakland to Sacktown
The Bay Area and back down
Cali is where they put they mack down
Give me love
California knows how to party
California knows how to party
In the citaaay of L A
In the citaaay of good ol' Watts
In the citaaay the city of Compton
We keep it rockin
We keep it rockin
Shake it shake it baby
Shake it shake it baby
Shake it shake it mama
Shake it Cali
Shake it shake it baby
Shake it shake it
shake it shake it
Shake it Cali
